Big crash in the women's road race splitting up the peloton.
If they had radios the GB riders would be working to distance the dutch but now they're coming back to the front, theirs to lose unless the other countries gang up on them
Aussies are out of it

This years one he was outplayed last years was a flop and a half should have won a calendar once in his career only thing that will have eluded him shame he had opportunities to do that

Carlos will have plenty of chances to win medals, whether it be doubles or singles
Yeah but even if you're the GOAT things don't always run perfectly. It's staggering that he still wins anything at this stage. This is special in its own right. You can see as much in his reaction.
Brutal bogey for Fleetwood

It is and there won’t be another player. Alcaraz and Sinner probably win a dozen or so but 20+ it’s not happening again. He’s the greatest that’s ever played the game and by a margin too
They'll now default to the Calendar slam as being missing.
Or his H-2-H against Nadal specifically at Slams.
Got to find reasons right?

Bjorn Borg would have been if he didn't decide to call it quits at 26, he's still considered a tennis legend even with his short career.
Just watching the women in the beach volleyball 17-11 up in second set. Won first set already unsure of that score just switched over from tennis before.

Looks like it's the Netherlands v Hungary battling it out for the gold in the women's cycling road race.
Belgium and the USA battling it out for the bronze.

Some amazing bottle jobs in this race

Hold the phone, the USA woman blowing right past them to go for the gold.
The other three look cooked and are now battling it out for silver and bronze.

This female road race tactics, is some of the most pathetic I have ever seen.
3 riders have donated a gold medal to American Christine Faulkner, who isn't as good any of the 3, because they were too worried who might out sprint each other. They just refused to react when Faulkner caught them and said I'm going to attack because you are better sprinters than me, with about 4 kms to go, maybe a bit less.

A photo finish for the silver and bronze, the Netherlands getting the silver and Belgium getting the bronze.
It looked like they crossed the line at the same time though, must have been millimetres in that to decide.

In fairness to them Vos and Kopecky had put in huge repeated efforts to chase attacks for the last 2 hours. They were close to empty. One look at each other and that's how one-day races go a lot of the time.
The irony is that US's best rider Chloe Dygert crashing made Kopecky have to chase back to the front which sapped her energy and won them the race

So it sounds like Faulkner got a Bradbury style gold medal except the other 3 riders didn't crash, they just let her race past them.
The commentators seemed to be baffled by it, I'm no expert on women's road race cycling but it seemed to be strange to me too.
